How close did Portland come to being on this schedule, and where did the ball drop on it? TERRY ANGSTADT: Well, thanks very much for the call and the question. And I think characterizing it as a dropped ball is maybe a little severe. We had a great meeting with a number of representatives from the Portland area. In fact, two different groups. And we are quite confident through some of our further due diligence that that's a market that we know has a lot of open wheel fans. It has a good history. We think the venue is good and interesting, and we think we're going to get there. It did not develop in time to include it for 09. But we certainly have a continued interest. http://www.indycar.com/news/?story_id=12179 http://www.portlandraceway.com/ | ||||
